Whiskey Wednesday

WHISKEY WEDNESDAYS (HAPPY THANKSGIVING) WHISKEY OF THE WEEK: Wild Turkey Bourbon

Package: I call it “the lumberjack bottle of bourbons”

Smell: First i smell vanilla, then a lot a lot of rye. A lot of rye. damn near burnt off my nose hairs

Taste: Unlike the 80 proof version to Wild Turkey, the you are going to notice the vanilla and the peppery taste o the front end of this bourbon. The taste hits you from the second it hits your tongue Even through most of the tasting, the taste remains strong or even intensifies. Because Wild Turkey doesn’t add a lot of water after the bourbon comes out of the barrel, the flavors of this bourbon are pronounced. In other words, be prepared to not enjoy this as a shot with out your tears and mouth watering

Finish: On the back end of this bourbon, you are going to get a slight alcohol burn and the taste of pepper is going to linger after the bourbon goes down. Its not overpowering, but you’re definitely going to to taste it.

Price: $30

Rating: I’m not a fan of the spicy or peppery bourbons. For those people who like these attributes, this bourbon is for you.  I’m glad I tried it because of the bourbons that I’ve tried, its had the most notable spice/pepper attributes.

I think instead of using salt and pepper on your turkey this thanksgiving, lets do a little Whiskey Wednesday Thanksgiving and douse that mo fo in some wild turkey and hopefully by the time we’re all done eating it, your grandma’s comments on your weight, your uncle dicks weird comments on your nose ring and your cousin fran’s baby’s throw up on your favorite shirt will all go by unnoticed. Be thankful for the beautiful nectar of the gods that will help you get through the holiday seson: WHISKEY

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
